Seems like the neutral safety switch needs adjusting and may have slipped and a wire have a spot that the insulation has worn off. Check the wires on the steering shaft under the dash for a wire that has been damaged.

Either the battery is discharged or starter jammed try rocking car in gear with ignition off  and park brake of sometime it will free the starter if battery is ok  !!  other wise give starter a thump with the handle of a hamer sometimes the solenoid jams in there don't take much too free it unless its goosed !!! Hope this help[s

You need fuel, compression and spark to start an engine.
Sounds like you have compression since the engine is turning over, so it must be fuel or spark.
   Could be a few reasons for this. Don't know what year your vehicle is, but it could be a clogged fuel filter, fuel pump, spark plugs or coil pac, fuel injection system or carburetor, etc. Sounds like you may have to trouble shoot as there is no simple answer to your question.
Might be the battery is  holding enough charge to crank the engine but not enough to actually start it. That happens sometimes.

It may be the neutrai safety switch. A good way to check the solenoid is to jump it across the 2 terminals and see if it turns the starter. If this works several times, then it is not the starter, and if you hear a clicking when turning the key then I would say the solenoid is bad.

1. You could have dirty or corroded battery connections. Clean the connections first as this is the cheapest and easiest repair to make.
2. You could have a corroded battery cable. If you have a ohms meter you could check for continuity
3.you could have a stuck or defective solenoid. You could try pacing a jumper wire from the hot cable from the battery to the setter side of the solenoid. If the stater turns then the solenid is defective.
4.the starer may be sticking or defective. Take it out to a nearby autoparts store. Many of them can test the starter before you buy one.

You could have dirty or corroded battery connections . This is the first and least expensive thing to try first.
Could be a bad cable
Could be a stuck or bad soleniod. You could try jumping across to hot cable from the battery to the starter peg of the soleniod. If it  turns over, replace the solenid
May be a bad starter. Take it out to a local auto parts store and have it tested.
